Traveling isn’t about the final destination, but about the memories made along the way. That’s exactly what the good folks at Travel Nevada had in mind when they created a custom road trip just for us. In conjunction with Mazda, we were set to meander from Reno to Vegas within the span of under one week. Taking the less conventional roads to discover the gems of Nevada was bested only by the immaculate natural scenery. But before we get ahead of ourselves, we begin our saga at the most celebrated AAA Four Diamond in Northern Nevada, the Peppermill Reno.

Pulling up to the spot in our fresh 2016 Mazda CX-5, we were immediately ready to check-in. The front staff were incredibly kind, and both Taylor and myself were hooked up with our very own Tuscany King Suites. One word can describe these bad-ass digs, and that word is REGAL.

Each room is stacked with everything you would need to turn up & down in complete Reno style:

42″ wall-mounted LCD high-def television

In-room Coffee with Keurig Coffee Maker

Custom hand-made furnishings

Custom-made plush double-pillow-top king size mattresses

Luxurious triple sheeting and linens

Spacious, elegant marble bathroom with his and hers sinks

European soaking tub and separate marble enclosed shower

LCD high-def television in bathroom

King-sized terry cloth towels

High-speed internet access and voicemail in every room

Video check-out

24-hour room service

You know we had the munchies from a long day of flying, so it was rather dope to notice that the Peppermill had a multitude of restaurants to find exquisitely prepared fare right on the property. First, we stopped at Oceano for a smorgasbord of seafood, and let’s just say that Poseidon himself would endorse the restaurant if he could traverse Nevada’s immense arid lands.

Next, we dropped by the what is quite possibly the most immaculate Casino in Reno. Peppermill’s casino is so dope, and gambling is tailored to a younger crowd too! Drink stations are everywhere, as cute hostesses politely check in to ensure you always have a top notch drink in hand.

After trying our luck at the Blackjack tables, we decided to check out each pool the immense property had to offer. All of them were heated and intricately designed, paying homage to both Greek and Roman architecture. Peppermill Resort is efficient too, after adopting green initiatives that have dramatically reduced energy usage. Creative solutions to utilize natural resources through Geothermal Space and Water Heating have transformed Peppermill Resort Spa Casino into a environmentally mindful gambling giant. Applying the on-site geothermal well has the ENTIRE resort efficiently heated. WELL DONE, team.

We totally needed more time to make some friends, but dinner time was calling. We stopped in at Bimini Steakhouse to end our night with absolutely enthralling steaks and uniquely prepared drinks that had us stumbling back to our rooms.

In short, be sure to check in at the Peppermill Resort when you touch down in Reno, it literally does not get better than this! Stay tuned for our next stop along our road trip across Nevada, we are thinking about maybe getting speedy atop Sand Mountain with UTV Addiction.
